James Harrison Takes Aim at the Entire NFL

There is not a fanbase in the world that I hate more than that of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I could tell you why, but instead I will just link you to the Clay Travis article that says it far better than I ever could. I really didn't care about them one way or another until the hissy fit that they threw when some Titans players stomped on the dish rag a couple of years ago.

You always hear about the Rooney family and how they are the class of the NFL. I don't know them personally, but I have trouble buying into their classiness when they continue to pay guys like Ben Roethlisberger and James Harrison- which brings us to the point of this post.

Harrison gave an interview in the August edition of Men's Journal. Here are some of the things it includes:

"If that man (Roger Goodell) was on fire and I had to piss to put him out, I wouldn’t do it," Harrison told the magazine. "I hate him and will never respect him."

His other descriptions of the commissioner include an anti-gay slur, "stupid," ‘’puppet" and "dictator."

I can't wait for Roger's reaction to that.

As if that wasn't enough, he also takes aim at other people, even his own teammates:

Harrison also criticizes other NFL execs, Patriots-turned-commentators Rodney Harrison and Tedy Bruschi ("clowns"), Houston’s Brian Cushing ("juiced out of his mind") — and even teammates Rashard Mendenhall and Ben Roethlisberger for their performances in the Super Bowl loss.

The guys on the Wake-Up Zone here in Nashville do a semi-weekly segment called Defend Your Boy (DYB) where they make each other defend someone that they are a fan of when they do something crazy. Well DReese has made us well aware here that Harrison is his boy.

So, Dreese, DYB!

[UPDATE] after the jump.

Star-divide

Here is the exact quote on Roethlisberger:

 

"Hey, at least throw a pick on their side of the field instead of asking the D to bail you out again. Or hand the ball off and stop trying to act like Peyton Manning. You ain’t that and you know it, man; you just get paid like he does."

Hey, hey in all honesty

Idid not expect much from Mexico’s B/C team. Spot was already secured for confererations cup with gold cup victory. And i wouldnt call 1-0 losses as epic, I love futbol but all 3 of Mexico’s matches left me feeling empty. August 10th in Philly MEXICO V. USA! The rematch!

Wow...

Anti-gay slurs are being especially focused on these days, so that won’t go well, probably, but the thing that really gets me is calling out his teammates for their performance in the super bowl to a freaking magazine. That’s inexcusable.

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

It’s not as if their team is on a downward spiral and things are out of control, they went to the Superbowl and got b-slapped by a better offense. If I was part of the Steelers shitty fan base I would be pissed off this dude is sharing his airing out his own personal laundry for the world to see.

A yahoo sports blog about Harrison pointed out something interesting.

He is bashing his teammates, but he had a horrible game in the Super Bowl. He had 1 tackle, and his D got torched.

It gets even better:

Harrison includes Young hit in stunning interview

The body-slamming sack that Pittsburgh linebacker James Harrison delivered on Titans quarterback Vince Young in the second week of the 2010 season was one of the topics covered by Harrison in his shocking interview in the current Men’s Journal.

Young certainly wasn’t the highlight of Harrison’s rants, as Harrison ripped NFL commissioner Roger Goodell as well as teammates Ben Roethlisberger and Rashard Mendenhall.

But Harrison brings up the brutal sack of Young as he questions whether the league is harder on black players illegally hitting white players than it is on black players illegally hitting black players.

Harrison wasn’t even penalized for his body-slam of Young, but was eventually fined $5,000. On the other hand, he was penalized for a late hit against Brees and also fined $20,000.

"I slammed Vince Young on his head and paid five grand, but just touched Drew Brees and that was 20 (grand)," Harrison told Men’s Journal. "You think black players don’t see this (crap) and lose all respect for Goodell?"

Of course, Harrison doesn’t appear to mention that he was also fined $75,000 last season for a hit on Cleveland Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi, who is black. The league eventually reduced that fine to $50,000.

He’s trying to pull a Kanye West…

That is more of a problem with the NFL protecting it's "Golden Players" then it is about race...

Yes, tackling Manning like that and a ref. will come onto the field and execute you on the spot…
Tackling Max Hall like that and he’d be lucky to warrant a $5,000 dollar fine.
Unfortunately that’s how the league bullshit placement of fines go and who they chose to protect.

He throws his own teammates under the bus and basically says Ben is nothing compared to Manning. Could be true, but that is in no way shape or form suppose to come out of Ben’s teammates mouth. What a POS. Also, Harrison is overrated. He is slow and can’t cover well. The only thing he is good at is hitting people in the open field and blitzing.

Real smart thinking Harrison on bashing the commissioner. This guy is worthless.
